Crypto-related news website and the owner of the largest BCH mining pool, CoinGeek, has faced with Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attack, according to the official report.
The attack had began on Tuesday and finished only on Wednesday evening.
Coingeek’s owner, Calvin Ayer, thanked "DDoS friends" via his tweet post.
I want to thank my DDoS friends. Their voluntary paying to stress test my website made it stronger. The Bitcoin Stress test coming will similarly expose weaknesses and make the network stronger. We know Bitcoin SV will keep the network strong. 128 M onchain blocks anyone?
